Hey everybody! My little project is just some cheap melamine doors my stepdad found in the dumpster! They look like they were from a kid size cabinet. He thought I might be able to do something with them. I had these cork squares that I got from a yard sale for 25 cents. The doors were already white and I thought I would just stick the cork inside the frame on the front of the door. I used some ribbon to hang them by the doorknobs. Easy peasy!
I just covered the seams with how I put the stuff on the cork board. Now I have a place to put my inspiration photos near where I sit to do my blogging - which is at one end of our sunroom.
Here's some more bargains from my home office area:
I love the framed art from Kirkland's that I got at a yard sale for $2!!! It still had the $69 price tag on the back!!! Birdhouse on a stand and metal bucket are both from yard sales, too! The cloth napkin is another bargain from Pier 1!
I'm joining my favorite Mr. Linky parties:
Met Monday - Between Naps on the Porch
Today's Thrifty Treasures - Southern Hospitality
and Trash to Treasure Tuesday - Reinvented!
I love seeing what everyone has come up with this week! Please head on over and check them all out!

What a great, creative way to use the doors! I love the fact that your stepdad thought of you when he saw them in the dumpster.

ReplyDeleteYour doors turned out so cute! What a creatively simple way to use them. And don't you just LOVE it when the original price tag is left on a thrifted item. It's such a thrill :). Great finds.
